Modern business cannot run on legacy technology, and Hadoop's slow performance, high costs, and complexity are a strong case in point. As of 2022, the benefits that were once attractive to organizations with Hadoop have worn off, and many companies that initially adopted it for cost savings and analytics performance have since moved on to cloud services like AWS or Azure. However, those years of investment in Hadoop can still pose significant challenges, particularly when it comes to migration, downtime, and maintenance. In contrast, SingleStore offers a streamlined and cost-effective path to modernity, allowing organizations to augment or replace their Hadoop infrastructure with options to deploy on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.
